In an interview with The Washington Post in May, Bercow denied rumors that he would soon leave his post. “I think it would be rather curious to desert my post at a time like this,” he said.
伯考在今年5月接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时,否认了他即将离职的传言。他说:“我想,在这种时候辞职实在太离谱。”
But on Monday, he told the Commons that “at the 2017 election, I promised my wife and children that it would be my last. This is a pledge that I intend to keep.”
但在本周一,他告诉下议院,“在2017年的选举中,我向我的妻子和孩子们承诺,这将是我最后一次参选。我打算信守这一诺言”。
The fact that Bercow is a divisive figure was on stark display Monday, as many opposition lawmakers got up to applaud him for his service, while some of the hardcore Brexiteers stayed in their seats.
伯考是一个有争议的人物,这在本周一得到了鲜明的体现,许多反对派议员站起来为他的工作鼓掌,而一些铁杆脱欧派人士则无动于衷。
divisive[dɪ'vaɪsɪv]:adj.分裂的;区分的;造成不和的
Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition Labour Party, said Bercow had been a “superb” speaker who had totally changed the way in which the job has been done.
反对党工党领袖杰里米•科尔宾表示,伯考是一位“出色的”议长,完全改变了议长的工作方式。
